CHEM 471: Biochemistry I

In this analysis, we determine the composition of a solution prepared by dissolving 12.15g of nickel(II) nitrate in 175mL of water (density 1.00 g/mL). The mass percent of nickel(II) nitrate is found to be approximately 6.50%, and the mole fraction of nickel(II) ions in the solution is calculated as 0.00672.

This discussion delves into the use of acetone as a solvent for removing water from laboratory glassware, exploring the science behind its effectiveness and the role of hydrogen bonding in facilitating rapid evaporation.

This video delves into the fundamental concept of conjugate bases in the context of the Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases, explaining how when acids donate protons, they transform into their respective conjugate bases. This understanding is exemplified through the specific reactions of various compounds, illustrating how each Brønsted acid, upon proton donation, gives rise to its corresponding conjugate base.

Discover the importance of calculating percent error to assess the precision of experiments. Through real-world examples like measuring alcohol's density and the mass of gold, learn how this value offers insights into measurement accuracy and ways to refine methods.

Join us as we delve into the intriguing world of genetic coding and discover how the concept of wobble accounts for variations in codons encoding a single amino acid.
